What the vid is about
This video is going to be about Analysis Paralysis. That is having so many options available to you, you get confused and end up getting paralyzed and not making any decision at all.
I figured I would make a video about this because I end up giving quite a bit of advice in the comments section, but I released my advice often contains a lot of "if you feel/do x, then I recommend you do y". And I tend to give people several options for stuff to do depending on what the outcome is and I started to worry about confusing people with too many options, so I decided to make this video
What it goes into (Hook)
I'm going to talk about what I think the best way to deal with analysis paralysis is, how I've dealt with it, and how my strategy has benefited me my career and education.
What the end result will be
Hopefully by the end of this video, If you've been stricken with paralysis over a difficult decision, hopefully you'll have gained a different perspective and possibly be able to act with more confidence!
Relate the video back to the viewer (Why should they care to watch it)

Content:
Generally the way I'd recommend to deal with Analysis paralysis is to just DO SOMETHING.
So the thing is, when you're trying to decide what to do for yourself, even if you pick the wrong choice and go hard and learn the "Wrong thing", in the end, you'll usually gain some kind of skill or ability that you wouldn't have had, otherwise and you never really know when that skill or ability will come in handy.
Talk about CS vs IT at Edmonds College
Talk about Tired of working, to web app, to MS
This has happened to me so so many times
Another example, when I was trying to get into security, I had no idea what field I should go into and I didn't really know what I should do. I was kinda stuck between trying to get OSCP and becoming a pen tester or trying to dive deep into assembly and get into malware analysis. I just had no idea.
I ended up studying assembly a bit, then ultimately decided to pursue becoming a pen tester and trying to get OSCP.
I spent about 1100 on the lab and studied it really really hard until one day at work, some random defensive infosec position opened up and someone recommended me for it.

The more times you pick something and go hard on it, eventually you'll reach some kind of critical mass in terms of skill or knowledge or whatever it is that you're doing, that you'll really be able to do something significant or unexpected with it.
Another good way to think about this is "The more you do, the more you can do". It sounds really dumb an obvious, but just think about it. Obviously don't burn yourself, but you should be u
When just CHOOSING something to do, even if you don't end up sticking with that thing, you don't really know how that skill/experience is going to help you in the future
